A big thing is your "zoom" levels. You have 20000 and 10 set. So you'll "see" it when zoomed way out, but not close in. The upper end would usually be 2000k and the lower would be 2, or 5 tops. That will change the figure required for Scale, with the 5 setting taking about 27.1 and the 2 taking about 10.8+. You'll have to experiment there, of course.
yeah, except for the font-change-suggestion, i've done all of what you have posted.

for the last year or so, i've migrated what you did in FOTRSU with Map Location to the other modsets that i play, specifically with copying the Red Marker dds and then implementing that in the "Patrol" missions. that, coupled with Triggers and Events, let me know when we've actually arrived at our patrol zone so we can start the clock for the patrol time.

going to have to check and see if i copied Red Marker to the proper folder. it is buried in six-deep-subfolders and it is possible that i was off a level. i've been that before.

thanks for your thoughts!!!
